Dec 11, 2015 at 11:07 comment added user38309 @GuillaumeCombot Yes, agreed, many do. But which cases do you want to exclude from your search? The answers given so far assume you want to exclude papers where any author is from a given country. Is that a correct interpretation of your question? Can you edit the question to more explicitly and precisely state the conditions you want your literature search to match? This will improve the question both because: a) all users can better determine whether the answers match your question well or not; and b) other users can determine more easily if your question matches a question that they have.
Dec 11, 2015 at 10:48 comment added user38309 @GuillaumeCombot I think the under-specification comes from not knowing how you define research conducted in some countr[y]. Many papers have co-authors from multiple institutions in multiple countries; at what point is the research conducted in a given country? If the first-author is there? The majority of authors? Any author? &c.
Dec 11, 2015 at 10:37 comment added JinSnow @O.R.Mapper Are you talking about moral criterion or ethic one or technical one? Because if your talking about technical one, all the necessary info are written on my question. The technical criterion of the filter is "country", what else did I forget?

Dec 9, 2015 at 8:11 comment added user3209815 This is a very vague question, I would even say off-topic here, as it is more related to a search engine configuration than academia. Further, note that my advice is based on the Google search engine, not Google Scholar in particular. Nonetheless, the best suggestion I can come up with is to use "-" in your query. Google tries to exclude keywords which are preceded by "-" from the results. I can't know if that would suit your criteria of filtering (it is rather shaky, as @O.R.Mapper rightly noted), but you can try something like "fourier transform -france -spain" and see if that helps you.
Dec 9, 2015 at 7:46 comment added O. R. Mapper Based upon which criterion? If at least one author is affiliated with an institution in one of your blacklisted countries? Or all of them? ...?
